the cast from “The Breakfast Club”.
I’ve recognized Anthony Michael Hall in the upper picture because I love the series “Dead Zone” and know that he was in this movie.
It can’t be the muscles, it must be the toes that made the difference. Look at those things! Now THOSE can power a pedal! It’s like Michael Phelps arms and hands giving him an advantage! I’ll bet he’s had some work done, and the cycling committee never even noticed.
This picture was actually posted on his own website, and run in Men’s Health magazine, in 2019… He was only 35!
He may be an ex World Champion but AFAIK he’s still a cyclist.
He took this picture after a comeback race… He’d been banned for a year for a positive result in a doping test.
He says it wasn’t the drug they thought, but a chemical in a food supplement he’d been taking because he couldn’t eat due to bullemia. He wanted to show what eating disorders do to the cycling community, where he says they’re prevalent.
He was at this time 5’9½” and 132 pounds, which might not be super skinny on some people, but it’s insufficient on a muscled athlete.
makes me want to post that Cleo comic I did of the little kid named Bill, who is shaking a snow-globe ….I forget the circumstances , but the pun was William shakes sphere
As far as I can tell, it’s a mixture of celebrities and socialites…
Here’s the list from
the Getty Images site:
Starting from front..Miss Marion Davies; Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Carole Lombard, and Prince Serge Obelenski; 2?Douglas Fairbanks Sr.; 3d row?Mrs. James Bodrero, of Santa Barbara; Mrs. Donald Ogden Stewart with arms about Clifton Webb; 4th row..Clark Gable, Miss Dorothy Fell of New York and Mrs. Joan Payson (sister of Jock Whitney; 5th row?Countess Di Frasso in robe, Susan Rosenberg and Donald Ogden Stuart; 6th row Virginia Bruce, Delmar Daves and Jean Neguesco.
They give no other information.
If you want to know more about them… Here’s a much longer 2008 post from
Carol-and-Co on Live journal:
Some time ago, we ran the photo above, taken at one of those famed Hollywood parties we noted a few days back — but at the time, we didn’t know who everyone was. Sure, we saw Carole Lombard, Marion Davies and Clark Gable; they’re pretty easy to spot. But many of the others weren’t people you could instantly identify.
However, now you can identify them, without prodding. That’s because the picture is being auctioned at eBay, and the seller provided a list, presumably from the original photo’s caption. Here it is:
2/24/36: According to rows – starting from front…Miss Marion Davies; Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Carole Lombard and Prince Serge Obelensky; 2nd row–Douglas Fairbanks Sr.; 3rd row–Mrs. James Bodrero, of Santa Barbara; Mrs. Donald Ogden Stewart with arms about Clifton Webb; 4th row–Clark Gable, Miss Dorothy Fell of New York and Mrs. Joan Payson (sister of Jock Whitney); 5th row–Countess Di Frasso in robe, Susan Rosenberg and Donald Ogden Stewart; 6th row–Virginia Bruce, Delmer Daves and Jean Negulesco.
Okay, so we have the elder and younger Fairbanks; I met Doug Jr. many years ago at a Film Forum retrospective of his father’s fine movie work, and in retrospect I’m sorry I didn’t ask him about Lombard. A few others there have names we remember as actors (Clifton Webb, Virginia Bruce).
But this wasn’t strictly an actors’ party by any means. A few others gained fame in the industry as writers (Donald Ogden Stewart, who we previously profiled at http://community.livejournal.com/carole_and_co/49026.html), directors (Jean Negulesco) or both (Delmer Daves). By the way, Mrs. Donald Ogden Stewart is Beatrice Ames, the first of his two wives.
Joan Payson, sister of Jock Whitney, would become better known in later years for her ties to baseball than to society. In 1957, she was the lone member of the New York Giants’ board of stockholders to vote against the struggling team’s move to San Francisco; several years later, she became principal owner of the Giants’ National League replacement at the Polo Grounds, the expansion New York Mets.
Prince Serge Obolensky, who sat next to Carole in this photo, was a Russian native and art collector whom at one time was married to Czar Alexander II’s daughter, Catherine. They fled Russia following the 1917 revolution, settled in the U.S., and divorced; he then married Ava Alice Muriel Astor, New York tycoon John Jacob Astor’s daughter. He would serve with honor as a American lieutenant colonel during World War II, making several jumps as a paratrooper at age 53.
Countess Dorothy di Frasso was born in, of all places, Watertown, N.Y., but her father was genuinely wealthy, and she inherited a $12 million fortune. She gained her royal standing through marriage to an Italian count, but later had an affair with Gary Cooper and ultimately moved to Los Angeles, where she became popular with the film colony.
The date of Feb. 24, 1936 is also illuminating. Supposedly Lombard’s romance with Clark Gable began at about this time — but if that’s the case, why aren’t they next to each other?
If anybody can tell me what noticing a different shape in a graphic has to do with intelligence.
I pretty much vote it has nothing to do with it, except on the very basic level, of having a high enough IQ to read… Which by some standards is around 70… Hardly genius material.
BTW… I tried to look for duplicate 8’s, but by the time I found one, my eyes were watering.
I too assumed that this was another AI stack of small, possibly fake, residences… But looking at it carefully, i didn’t see any impossible corners or stacking.
The perspective changes for each floor, something lacking in those AI examples, which look head-on at every level.
So I searched it, and my results concur that it’s real!
It’s called the Suzhou Pyramid, located, as nearly as I can follow, in the city of Suzhou, in Kunshan District, which is like a county. Kunshan either abuts or includes Shanghai, so some sites say it’s in Shanghai.
These are called luxury apartments (eek).
I found architectural sites praising the design, from Arab countries and Nigeria.
The center is hollow.. dunno if you’d call it a courtyard with such towering walls… And I also found images showing more of its surroundings
I think ‘Citizen Dog’ is the most underrated comic in the comics world….
it should be just as popular and successful as some of those other ‘popular’ strips–Garfiled, Family Circle, Fred basset, Pea-freaking-nuts
Maybe Clara’s book club has tea and cookies, and discusses the book they’re all reading …
But that wasn’t my experience visiting a couple of them. Maybe it’s what they told their husbands and their nosy basset hounds… Maybe they even believed their own propaganda.
…
A friend back in the late 80s wanted me to join hers… It was actually a sci fi book club, and there were a couple of women I’d met before.
But they were into all these series books. Not the famous ones I’d heard of… I mean, if you’re a big sci fi fan, too, you might know them, but to me they read like potboilers, kind of juvenile, with romance thrown in.
She lent me the current book, having already finished the whole series … I like good sci fi but this stuff was meh… so I thought it would be a boring evening, but she said it would be fun
Turned out to have more to do with pitchers of pina coladas … I’d say half the women had read less of the book than I had. They all got quite drunk, and told bawdy jokes.
I’m no prude… the jokes were ok, but I’m not a drinker… one was always plenty, even when I could still have one. So was one meeting.
….
Then I tried again, in the early 2000s. With this one it was novels, and wine. Not as drunk… But drunk enough. And not as interesting, since I only knew two people, and hadn’t read the book.
Gonna try to go to bed a little earlier tonight, if I can….
I’ve been keeping strange hours again.
When I sleep later, I get back here later in the afternoon…. Then I have dinner late and post late… You see how this ends up.
Anyway, before I go…..I was looking over the last few days… here are a couple of things I failed to post in time.
….
Yesterday I meant to post… not that it matters…. after Claude mentioned badminton…. that I remember, as a little kid, being totally confused by that word
I finally asked … I think it was my kindergarten teacher … why they called.it that. I thought it was “bad mitten”.
Whoever it was enjoyed that. A little too much. But I didn’t.
…..
Earlier today (Sunday) I noticed a picture I’d meant to search and didn’t… So I did, and then realized it was from Saturday.
I posted the result anyway… But now we’re on Monday.
Someone still might find it interesting, so I’m reposting it here.
Do you remember the photo of the bearded fellow, kneeling with some husky pups and a couple of penguins, to whom he’s feeding fish?
Turns out it’s a 1933 press photo from of Alaska explorer Earl Hammond.
In 1941, he started playing Santa Claus at a school in his home town of Aurora, Nebraska, bringing his real reindeer… since “deer” is both singular and plural, I don’t know whether that means one or eight.
He did it for the rest of his life, and also traveled, with his Santa suit and wildlife, to play Santa at other Christmas celebrations in the Midwest and New York.
…..
And last … I promise…. P51Strega…. Dunno whether you saw my apology for the totally accidental thumb down…. I managed to reverse it.
.
Careful! She gets broody when she’s just laid a clutch of eggs …
When they hatch, will she feed them worms?
And will they learn to fly?
Or just walk casually up the mountain like she does?
Yes.
mammal eggs
Monotremes do it…
People say in Boston even beans do it…
I’ve made jokes that laid an egg before.
Does that count?
Indeed… echidna not!
Wow!
Oh, Yaah ‽‽‽‽‽
Ya wanna piece of me???
Well, come-on, you pussy ! ! ! ! ! !
Does look like a bad-ass no nonsense birdie
Next ice age I’m gonna paraglide this!
Thanks all the same, but I’ll just stay up here where there’s air.
air today
gone tomorrow
Hair today Goon tomorrow…
GOONS! my favorite Popeye cartoon!
Why not to be a rabbit.
Leapin’ leopards, Batman!
“I love you this much.“
On toast.
exactly what I was going to say
Oh, how happy you have made me
Oh, how happy, you have made me.

1985 and 2025…
The Breakfast Club
Bottom, I’d never recognize Judd Nelson! But it’s the same crew… Next Estevez, then Hall, with Ringwald and Sheedy in front.
That’s because in the lower picture the guy to the left is the one I’d recognize anywhere…
Oh! So the guys are labeled backwards on the bottom….
I guess I wouldn’t recognize either of them.
The middle one I do know, then and now… Sometimes he looks just like his father.
I’ve recognized Anthony Michael Hall in the upper picture because I love the series “Dead Zone” and know that he was in this movie.

Really? 🙁
I’ve seen mummies look better than that!
It can’t be the muscles, it must be the toes that made the difference. Look at those things! Now THOSE can power a pedal! It’s like Michael Phelps arms and hands giving him an advantage! I’ll bet he’s had some work done, and the cycling committee never even noticed.

It looks horrible!
EZ Rider!
Haaalp!
I’m being kidnapped by a bull!
That’s a bunch of Bull!
Well, actually, it is.
Don’t have a cow about it!
Twu Wuv!
,
OMG… I almost missed it.
If you don’t see it, back away a bit.
Couldn’t find any artist attribution, even though the image is used on some scholarly blogs.
easy to miss when the image is this big–here you see it posthaste
it still helps to squint
Syphilis nose?
That’s what I wanted to do…. Post it smaller.
But I can’t figure out why that works for you, and not for me!
Whenever I post even the teeniest picture, it gets enlarged to the width of the comment box…. at whatever level of comment or reply I’m using.
The only way I’ve posted one smaller was to surround it with a large white border, but that’s hard to accomplish with the software on my tablet.
I suppose repeatedly replying to myself would work, but be annoying.
Your pictures, though, post in various sizes.
How?
magic!
or if you don’t believe that….
Use Postimage , where you can adjust the image size to whatever size you need and copy the link into comments
check this, this is the smallest they can get it
when it’s this small, it’s not so much a Syphilis nose and more a nose in deep shadow
Being at a lower comment level helps too.
But it still posts way bigger than yours!
Same file you made at Postimage:
Bill Shakespeare?
makes me want to post that Cleo comic I did of the little kid named Bill, who is shaking a snow-globe ….I forget the circumstances , but the pun was
William shakes sphere
I remember that!
I have no problem finding small images… It’s about what happens here … they all post at the same size.
I just downloaded your smallest one, and I’m uploading it here….
You can see the poor resolution because the image is tiny, but it enlarged to fill the space.
It won’t stay tiny, like it does for you, and I’m trying to figure out why.
I’m guessing that it’s the cast of a screwball comedy.
there’s some heavy hitters there….can’t be for just one movie
It could be a gathering of one of the major studio’s actors
As far as I can tell, it’s a mixture of celebrities and socialites…
Here’s the list from
They give no other information.

Got it!
I’m a genius!!!
Eight what?
Yeah yeah, we’re all genii.
If anybody can tell me what noticing a different shape in a graphic has to do with intelligence.
I pretty much vote it has nothing to do with it, except on the very basic level, of having a high enough IQ to read… Which by some standards is around 70… Hardly genius material.
BTW… I tried to look for duplicate 8’s, but by the time I found one, my eyes were watering.
that’s one thing I noticed about this thing—if you stare at it long enough, it affects you, not in a good way.
plural of genius is genii ?—learned something today
It’s an older form.
Still accepted, in the dictionary, but listed second to “geniuses”.
I just like genii, especially because it’s the same as the equally almost-but-not-quite-archaic plural of genie.
Again, most people use “genies.”
I enjoy thinking genii (like all of us 8 finders) are genii, like Jeanie. And the one in Aladdin’s lamp.
Scrolling it up and down made it appear to me pretty quickly.
BTW, only one showed up by this method, so I think that’s all there is.
One is all I found too.
I do see neither a 1 nor a 2…
Less than 10 seconds for me to find it!
yes, but you peeked
Either a model or AI — not real!
I too assumed that this was another AI stack of small, possibly fake, residences… But looking at it carefully, i didn’t see any impossible corners or stacking.
The perspective changes for each floor, something lacking in those AI examples, which look head-on at every level.

The center is hollow.. dunno if you’d call it a courtyard with such towering walls… And I also found images showing more of its surroundings
looks like a fairly miserable domicile —but I suppose it’s better than being homeless
Luxury apartments!!
Very expensive.
I don’t want one either, in fact the idea is horrifying….. but magazines in Asia call it an architectural masterpiece.
Cleo jokes about “girls gone wild,” but she is just jealous. Comfy chairs, the company of other ladies, and cookies!

This is image three that I can recall posted here using that line…. 😄
The other day I think it was German Shepherd and burritos…
Or maybe a different breed….
The first one may have been the same one… But I thought I remembered hamburgers.
In any case, our furry friends would like to remind you…
Dog does not live by kibble alone.
If you’re not going to share, at least lend us the car keys.
There is a pizza one, but I can’t locate the image, it might be on my old (dead) computer.
something ‘Citizen Dog’ would do, for sure.
I think ‘Citizen Dog’ is the most underrated comic in the comics world….
it should be just as popular and successful as some of those other ‘popular’ strips–Garfiled, Family Circle, Fred basset, Pea-freaking-nuts
hm–getting opinionated in my old age
Guy was storyboarding expert.
Tea and cookies. Right.

ah yes. Unicorn shanks. my fav, especially on the grill
Yeah…I cook extra bacon, but it’s never to be confused with leftovers: it’s prep for the next meal.
Wish my book club discussed the book for more than 10 minutes before they revert back to gossiping about people they know. (2 hours)
I think the only thing closest to a book club for guys was when a bunch of us got together to read comic books when we were kids.
